jschoubben 891c7a945e ADR 0133 and 0134: who runs migrations, and the mesh saying what it applied
0133 — a module owns its migrations and the mesh owns when they run. A container declares what must
run before it; the mesh derives the gated step from the resource it precedes, so the image, the
environment and the credentials come from the one place they are described. The module owns the SQL,
the dialect and the lock; the mesh owns the moment and refuses to start a version whose step failed.
Per node, with no level: a step that ran once somewhere leaves every other machine ungated, and
'once, mesh-wide' is what holding a seat already means.

0134 — the pipeline is observable from a merge to an artifact and goes dark at the machine. What a
node now runs, and what it refused, become facts under the control plane's own seat, emitted when
what a machine runs changes rather than on every convergence pass.

Design 32's lifecycle carries both; issue 133 points at them as what ends the matter it opened.

04-ISSUES

The front door for "something is wrong" at the level of the mesh's design or governance. Diagnosis happens here, where the whole mesh is in view; the fix lands in the owning code repository.

What belongs here

Belongs here Belongs in the knowledge base
The design permits a failure to be silent How to fix one occurrence of it
A documented rule is enforced by nothing A command that works around it
A stated invariant is false in practice A node-specific quirk
The owner is unknown and finding it needs the whole mesh in view Symptom → fix, once the answer is known

The knowledge base already holds the operational record and is indexed on symptoms. This folder is not a second copy of it. An issue here is a question HQ must answer; an entry there is an incident someone must clear. An issue whose answer is a general lesson belongs in both.

Rules

  • Anyone may open an issue. No localisation is required to report one.
  • The full flow is playbook 00-META/process/03-issues.md.
  • Closed issues are never deleted — they are the mesh's symptom-to-component memory.
  • wontfix is legitimate and requires a sentence saying why.
